This is a seminar covering the lives of our Colonial/Australian Irish Ancestors.

Well known genealogists Shauna Hicks and Professor Jeff Brownrigg will be guest speakers.

Shauna's talk is entitled "The Colonial Irish Loved a Beer or Two: Checking out the Evidence." In this talk Shauna will demonstrate how Court of Petty Session records, police gazettes and other colonial records can be used to research our ancestors' petty misdemeanours, especially if they were fond of a drink or two.
